Re: New Wubi version (test3) is out

i tried installing test2 and strangely it didnt give any error. earlier it used get stuck at 33% but now it worked and didnt give the username error too. but somehow the system shut down in between the installation so couldnt complete it. will try it again.
also the installation takes too much of time for me. normally it should take around 45mins-1hr but it takes a few hours for me.

Re: New Wubi version (test3) is out

I just wanted to quickly say that I'm thankful there are people out there that are willing to create new things for people who have no idea about this kind of technical stuff. THANKS

I installed TEST2, and ran into the 33% problem. Then I looked for help at the forums and ran into a thread, that lead me into this post. I installed TEST3 without any problems at all. Now I'm a happy user of Ubuntu and I will, once I get around to it, make a full conversion into UBUNTU.

I DO have one question though: I run a intel TOSHIBA labtop 256 RAM, 1.8 Ghz. Disk access is REALLLLY slow, and I mean: I log in, click on the firefox icon on the top left, and 3-4 min later it actually opens.

It's the same for any other application, specially OpenOffice, that takes like 10 min. Is this normal with my current system specs and Wubi? Any feedback is welcome.

There are generally 3 reasons for that:

* you are using swap a lot (that would really slow you down)
* you have a very fragmented HD
* we miss the driver that your machine may need (see the wubiguide on how to check DMA).

You can check the resource utilization with the system monitor to see if there is anything that takes abnormal resources. With your specs you might want to try Xubuntu.

How long did it take to do the installation? I am talking about the one with blue screens.
